THE LAW OFFICE OF René P. MONIZ

 Filing for divorce can be a difficult decision especially when children are involved.  You need an experienced divorce attorney to help you navigate the next chapter of your life and who will make this process as stress-free as possible.

Protect your rights as a parent and secure the best interests of your children by retaining a compassionate family law attorney that is committed to working hard to deliver an outcome that is right for you and your children.    

 When entering into a new relationship you may want to protect yourself with a prenuptial agreement that allows you and your partner to determine how your pre-marital assets may be divided in the event of the dissolution of your marriage. 

 If you have a child born out of wedlock,  a paternity action is often needed to establish parental rights that will carry a legal relationship with certain financial obligations and benefits.  You should seek legal help from an experienced family law attorney.

 Whether you are seeking enforcement of an existing Order or defending against a contempt claim, you need assistance to help you understand your legal options and protect your rights. The Firm is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for you and will work diligently to help you identify and resolve your issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

 Over time, your circumstances may change, and it may become necessary to modify an existing Agreement or Final Judgment. An Order is based upon the circumstances that existed at the time the Judgment was rendered.  If you have experienced a material and/or significant change in circumstances since your action was finalized, you may have grounds to seek a modification and should seek guidance from a family law attorney. 

 Planning your estate involves difficult decisions about private matters related to the disbursement of property and assets.  It is important to have a comprehensive estate plan in place for the orderly transfer of your assets after your death.  It is important to seek legal help from a trust and estates attorney to ensure your estate plan is current and reflects your present day wishes especially after your divorce is final.       

 Guardianships may be necessary when both parents pass away, a parent is terminally ill or a child is not being cared for properly and their safety and health are at risk or of an elderly parent or another disabled adult in order to obtain decision-making authority over their health, finances and welfare. 

   We  are able to assist you with regards to your general civil litigation needs including but not limited to disputes involving contracts, real estate, landlord/tenant, employment, construction, medical malpractice and insurance.  Whether you need to bring a lawsuit or defend one, please contact the Firm for a free consultation.
